This morning, I was searching hundreds of half-finished articles I’ve accumulated on the SWLing Post over the years looking for a particular note. During my search, I stumbled upon the following post from September 2020 that I thought I published but had not. There’s no time like the present, right? Here you go:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A couple weeks ago, a package arrived at the post office and I noticed that the return address was from friend and SWLing Post<\/em> contributor and Patron, Scott Gamble.<\/p>\n

Scott knows me pretty darn well because, frankly, we’re a lot alike: we’re radio geeks and coffee snobs.<\/p>\n

The confirmation was in the box. A Shortwave Coffee mug:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Turns out, Scott discovered Missouri-based coffee roaster, Shortwave Coffee<\/a><\/strong>. He shipped me one of their branded mugs and it has become a favorite here at SWLing Post HQ.<\/p>\n

Next time I’m anywhere within driving distance of Shortwave Coffee<\/a><\/strong>, you’d better believe I’m stopping by for a cauppa!<\/p>\n

Thank you, Scott!<\/p>\n

\n

Fast-forward to the present day and, as I type this, I’m sipping a nice Rock Creek French Roast<\/a> in my Shortwave Coffee mug. Thanks again, Scott!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I should add that my buddy Troy Riedel also sent me a shortwave coffee mug–one he actually designed–nearly a decade ago. It lives in our travel trailer so I enjoy it during each of our family camping trips!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s wishing everyone an amazing weekend filled with shortwave and coffee!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
